Brass buckles or patent'leather-covered buckles. The very newest thing. Impatient with the Oakland Traction Company over what was characterized ait the meeting of the city council last night as the "dilatory methods of the company," a resolution was passed at the instance of Councilmen A.

P. Stiefvater and Oliver Ellsworth demanding that the street car company forthwith fulfill its promise of many months' standing and widen tho tracks on Broadway from Fourteenth street south. Bitter criticism of the company and its officials for not makthg good its assurance that the tracks would be widened and the "death strip" removed, was voiced by the councilmen when the matter was up last night. 8CORE8 NARROW STRIP. "On or about the beginning of last April," said Stlefvaterth6 council took up this matter of widening the tracks.

It had been dragging along then for years, and day that the tracks were in the condition in which we still find them, they were a menace to life and limb of Oakland citizens, a peril to women and children, and a crime against the promise of safety within the city. "At that time the attorney for the company made a plea that we should not force the matter as work was being done out further on Broadway and material ordered for the work had not arrived. They asked that it be deferred seven weeks, and we allowed them two months. That was about five months ago, and nothing has been done. "It is an outrage that this condition of afafirs should be allowed to continue.

Only this afternoon 1 saw an old man narrowly escape being crushed by being caught in the death strip. The company has ordered material for the work, and it is coming, not by rail, but by ship. I think we have a right to demand that the work be commenced, that the company show its good faith in this matter. I move you that the city clerk be authorized to communicate with the company, asking that, nay, demanding, that it read that the company forthwith carry out ita definite promisee, which It has so far failed to keep. Attorney Engs promised for the company that thia work would be commenced within a specified time, but nothing baa been done." The motion was carried unanimously.

Seme weeks ago notice was sent out that the Oakland Traction Company Intended widening its Broadway roadbed, and City Engineer Turner received word that he would be able to have a large supply of rock for the East Twelfth street dam fill to raise the grade here. He has waited in vain for the material for the fill. Fearing that the Oakland Traction Company will take up the entire improved portion of Grand avenue for its proposed car line in Elmhurst and force the residents of the district into the mud on each side of the roadbed, the Elmhurst Board of Trade filed protest against the granting of a franchise to the Company with the City Council last night. The protest was signed by half a hundred residents of the district, and was referred by the council to the railroad committee, which has the franchise under consideration. PROTEST IS MADE.

The protest reads as follows: "It has recently come to our knowledge that the Oakland Traction Company proposes to apply for a franchise for a single-track car line on Grand avenue in our district, and we, the undersigned residents and taxpayers on Grand avenue, respectfully petition your honorable body to deny the franchise for the following reasons: "Grand avenue has recently been macadamized 16 feet in the center. The balance of the street in the winter time almost impassable. If the traction company uses the center of the road they will use up the best part of the street and put property owners to the expense of macadamizing the balance of the street. "In the second place, we are soon to have sewers Installed in that street, and a single track in the center of the street will interfere with sewers being placed in the proper place. "We respectfully request your honorable body to insist on a double track; that the Oakland Traction Company will give us a reasonable service, and that the cars will be run until 12 o'clock at night, and that the franchise be granted for not less than -25 years, and that the road be operated by electricity and kept In good repair.
